未成年者による電子タバコの使用が増えています。ニュージーランドの若者が簡単に利用できるようになった経緯は次のとおりです

Share:

若者の電子タバコの使用を制限する取り組みにもかかわらず、多くの国では未成年の10代の若者の間での電子タバコの使用が増加しています。詰め替え可能な「ポッドモッド」や使い捨て機器が一般的になってきているため、この傾向は特に顕著です。Vapesは、その洗練されたデザインと多様なフレーバーから若者にとって魅力的ですが、リスクも伴います。ニコチンを含むタバコは中毒につながる可能性があり、電子タバコを吸う禁煙の10代の若者はタバコを吸い始める可能性が高くなります。

一部の国では、未成年者の使用を減らすために最低法定販売年齢を設定しています。たとえば、ニュージーランドでは、18歳未満の方には電子タバコを売ることができません。オーストラリアではさらに一歩進んで、ニコチンを含む電子タバコの処方箋が必要になりました。しかし、カナダ、イギリス、オーストラリア、ニュージーランドなどの国では、若者が電子タバコを吸う人が増え続けています。実際、ニュージーランドで最近実施された健康調査では、15歳から17歳までの人々の 20% が過去1か月に電子タバコを吸ったことがあることがわかりました。

未成年のティーンエイジャーがどのようにして電子タバコを手に入れるようになったのかを解明するための研究が行われました。この調査では、「ソーシャル・ソーシング」、つまり友人同士での共有が最も一般的な方法であることがわかりました。また、未成年のベイプユーザーは商業小売店から購入することもでき、中にはベイプを盗むユーザーもいました。

この調査には、電子タバコを吸うニュージーランドの10代の若者30人へのインタビューも含まれていました。調査結果から、参加者全員が友人、家族、職場の知り合いと電子タバコを共有していたことが明らかになりました。参加者の中には、自分のデバイスを所有することを避け、他の人の電子タバコのみを使用した人もいました。これにより、自分の使い方をコントロールできると感じました。

ほとんどの参加者は、年配の友人や兄弟にベイプを買ってもらうように頼みました。中にはこのサービスに料金を支払った人もいました。参加者の中には、ソーシャルメディアや小売店以外で知り合った見知らぬ人に、電子タバコを買ってもらうように頼んだ人もいました。参加者のほぼ全員が未成年者に販売する小売業者を知っており、その多くがこれらの小売業者から電子タバコ製品を購入していました。

この調査では、未成年者による販売を防止するためには小売業者の監視と取締りの強化が必要であることが示唆されています。また、電子タバコ製品の入手可能性や魅力を低下させるような政策の必要性も浮き彫りにしている。政府が計画しているように、使い捨てベープの販売禁止の影響を監視するのもその一つかもしれない。
